Q. Does Feint Attack go through Metal Energy or not?
A. Feint Attack normally ignores ANY effect attempting to reduce its damage, even Metal Energy. But, Feint Attack is worded differently on some of the older sets where the "ignoring" part only applies to the Defending Pokemon. On those older cards, Metal Energy does reduce the damage when Feint Attack targets the bench; but on more recent cards, ignoring reduction applies to both Defending and Benched Pokemon.
